This seems useful to some miners.

You try this at your own risk, as it seems to contain malware!

You also have to use "his modified drivers" for this to work apparently.

It does seem to make a backup of your cards bios automatically though which is good i guess.

 

[purecain]

This would be amazing if we didnt need modified drivers... I suppose you could always flash back. I wonder if the cards work at all with standard drivers just without the hash rate fix... Just about to have a look...

1. We definitely need to spread the word, it's like there's a bunch of poor sobs waiting for a retail card for less than an arm and a leg.
2. Perfect timing for installing modded drivers by some random Russian guy (I assume he's legit, but people fret over Microsoft's telemetry, so...).

Huge /doubt here

Extremely unlikely that someone broke the VBIOS digital signature

A modded driver will not help to bypass that

 

[Taraquin]

Smells like scam! Why need to update bios in windows and give program access to loads of privileges?

I saw a video about this the other day.. I have some doubts, but I also haven’t looked into it.

If it's shite @W1zzard delete the thread. Seemed interesting that’s why I posted it.

 

[Tesla92]

It seems like a scam, so if anybody wants to try, please let us know

 

[GerKNG]

i hope that it actually bricks GPUs so miners lose as much money as possible.

We'll know soon enough

 

[BaRRoS]

It's already out if anyone is willing to test it.

 

[StefanM]

Tested... (not by me)

Like they're dumb enough to flash all their cards at once.

Miners have worked around LHR long ago: they just mine two currencies at the same time, so each currency get 50% of the GPU.

Not how that works. They have a 74% unlocks for eth. They have some unlocks that are 30% eth and 70% alt coin. They have a 68%eth and 32% alt coin unlocker.

But this bios mod is a scam so far. Do not download this. The link should be removed until proven otherwise. Other outlets will test it for for the masses.

 

[W1zzard]

not gonna run this on my local network

Not looking good

Not sure why it needs to add a Defender exclusion on the whole system drive

.. and repository deleted

Yeah a 155 KB NVIDIA driver

That's flagged just a tiny little bit

Update:

After investigation, it seems like the tool is infused with Malware and we ask everyone to avoid using this utility or downloading it. A video below shows the proof to this:

Nice.
Hope you were in a VM w1zz. WCCFTech strikes again.

ofc, not my first rodeo

Good work bossman.

@W1zzard - Thanks for looking into the software, you've most likely just saved a lot of people from being scammed.

 

[Deleted member 24505]

Well it looked interesting enough to post. Sorry it turned out to be a turd in disguise. Thx @W1zzard for checking it out.

None of us are blaming you, it did look very interesting! Just didn't have any merit and ultimately shown to have malware. Learning lesson here is simply to take a closer look in future.

If it looks interesting, post it. There's enough of us here that if something is wrong it'll quickly be discovered. No worries Tigger!
